Abstract:

In present study,flower buds of Ehretia macrophylla were selected as the experimental material. The meiotic process of microspores of E. macrophylla was investigated. The optimal conditions for inducing pollen chromosome doubling by high-temperature exposure were identified and in order to establish technique for high temperature-induced pollen chromosome doubling in E. macrophylla. The anthers of E. macrophyllawere dropped with acetocarmine solution and placed under a microscope to observe the process of meiosis. On the basis of clarifying the meiosis process of pollen mother cells flower buds in meiotic prophase Ⅰ to high temperatures of 38,40 and 42 ℃ with 4 hours treatment. The findings indicated that the meiosis process of pollen mother cells in E. macrophylla mostly concentrated when the longitudinal diameter of flower buds was 2.0-4.0 mm and there was obvious asynchrony. When the longitudinal diameter of the flower buds was between 2.0-3.0 mm,76.5% of the flower buds of E. macrophylla were in the premeiotic stage Ⅰ,when the longitudinal diameter of the flower buds was between 3.6-4.0 mm,meiosis basically completed,indicating that there was a significant correlation between the longitudinal diameter of the flower buds and meiosis of pollen mother cells. When the longitudinal diameter of the flower bud is between 2.6-3.0 mm in which pollen mother cells were at the packytene to diplotene stage,a high rate of 2n pollen(15.14%)were obtained after 4 h treatment at 42 ℃.

Key words: Ehretia macrophylla, high temperature induction, chromosome doubling, meiosis, 2n pollen
